nountechno (uncountable)
- uncountableentertainmentA repetitive style of music originally produced for use in a continuous DJ set. The central rhythmic component is most often in common time (4/4), where time is marked with a bass drum on each quarter note pulse, a backbeat played by snare or clap on the second and fourth pulses of the bar, and an open hi-hat sounding every second eighth note.
This is a country where nightclubs in Thimbu, the capital, throb with techno music, but where smoking is illegal and television did not arrive until 1999.
